Zangi Private Messenger 4+

Missing key features for an encrypted messaging app

First, I need to say that this is a good traditional messenger app. Links show up with nice previews, gifs auto play, "FaceTime" and the rest of the usual bells & whistles. Now, as an encrypted messenger app, it's good because it has end-to-end encryption, nothing is stored or passes through any other party. However, I did give it three stars because I believe there are at least a couple necessary features that are missing from this app. Zangi doesn't have disappearing messages, you can't put a Touch ID or Face ID lock on the app, and you can't use a decryption key of your choosing. I've also noticed some really strange behavior like random pictures from my photo album being sent when all I type is text. Also, I've found that many of my text replacements won't work if I type and send the message quickly. Honestly, I prefer the messenger app "Signal", but I have friends on both, so I use both. I will admit that Zangi has the better GUI though.

Need Improvement

First I will acknowledge the idea behind this very great idea and as a messenger application to connect with friends and family seamlessly.
But lacking the ability of having multiple log accounts into two or more devices been able to access your accounts into multiple devices without logging out the from the previous account but to be logged in as same time. I tried using my iPad to login my account and I was logged out from my other phone.

Hi, we understand that our Privacy concept might not fit all users, but when the choice is between convenience and Privacy we will always choose Privacy. Unless we implement device to device direct p2p sync, it's not reasonable to allow multi-device connection as without sync multi-device is totally useless. I hope you will make your choice saluting our dedication to ultimate Privacy and Security. There is nothing wrong with having different accounts on different devices especially as our sign-up doesn't require a mobile number availability.

Not perfect

I have a scammer that won’t leave me alone on this app. I’ve blocked them
But every twenty minutes I get a new text from them. I go and look to make sure it’s blocked and it still is. I have a premium account and should not have to keep getting messages from scammers after I block them. I went through the settings and there is no option to contact anyone involved in this app. So I thought I would leave a review and maybe that will get some one’s attention

Hi, when used on purpose and without violation of the Terms of Use "Report" button is not needed, but you can always send a support request to report@zangi.com. Who needs to report friends, family, colleagues 😀 ?Anyway, we are going to add it as too many users violate the terms of use. The next step will be kicking out for using Zangi outside the scope. In regards to the blocking issue - if you are sure the number writing to you didn't change please send a separate email to support@zangi.com with title "Block didn't work" indicating the number you blocked and your Zangi account number.
